CATTLE DRIVE
Robert Phaneuf
Combine painting-acrylic and mixed media utilizing .925 sterling silver
24 x 24 in. (60.9 x 60.9 cm)
At the focal point, a simplified, mask-like form emerges. It reads somewhere between mechanical and symbolic: horn-like extensions arc outward, while a central vertical axis bisects the figure with near-surgical precision. This symmetry is intentional but not sterile—the hand-rendered quality keeps it from feeling overly calculated. A thin red line cuts across the upper portion, suggesting interruption or containment, while a single downward drip introduces a subtle sense of gravity and consequence.
